Psalm 95 - A Call to Worship and a Warning
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs!

3 For Yahweh is a great God, A great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,

7 For he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, And the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

8 Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

9 When your fathers tempted me, Tested me, and saw my work.

10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, And said, \"It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways.\"

11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, \"They won't enter into my rest.\"

Today's Verse

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

Deuteronomy 31:29 | ASV

Verse Of The Day

That warning recalls the forty years God 'was grieved with this generation' in the wilderness, a bowing before God's name echoed centuries later in Philippians 2:10. It leads directly into the fresh call to sing found in Psalms 96.
